.1317 whom (it nut comzcrw loiown that 1, JOHN EDWARD WALKER, zen. of the United States, residing at Lezuisss ity in the county of Jackson and State of Mi ouri, have invented new and Printing Machine, of which the e. specification.

ivcntioii relates to e tiueprinting (lftSS (iQL ii3.I'ii1 "'l in which a bar eds to b heath a. glazed 'iig the tifflt of drawings and i116 ini'pressitniqispei iii swh a manner as to print the figures of the i2 swings on the impress1on-pepe1x A further object is to provide mechanism for carrying the iight backward and forward beneath the frame and means for eutonisb.

icelly reversing the direction of the lights travel. it reaches the respective ends of the trains.

Further ohiects are to provide the i111- detcils oi sts'ucture which will presently be fully described, and pointed out in the claims, refeience being had to the accouzpunyiug" drawings, forming part of this specification, in which like reference-numetals refer to like parts throughout the several views, and. in Which.-

listening more in detail to the parts, .8. is the free ework of the machine, the top plet- .iorm 8 of which'slents downwardly toward the front. Depending irom theplsitform 8* is a blue-printing frame 9, the cover' of.

which ispi'ovided with. the customaryfist springs 10, the edges of which are adelpted to fit under the crosspieccs 11 on the p etform 1 8 of the machine to provide the necessary pressure oi the. prmtmg-sheets against a glass which fits in the bottom of the frame.
